Correct Answer: D
Explanation
When an amateur station (like a repeater, auxiliary station, or remote base) is operated by telecommand and is within the Earth’s atmosphere (specifically on or within 50 km of the surface), the FCC requires that a certain set of information must be posted at the site. This is a public interest measure to allow for immediate contact if the station causes interference or experiences a malfunction.
The required information includes a copy of the station license (or primary documentation), and a label clearly visible to the public that provides the name, address, and telephone number of the station licensee and the control operator. Having all these pieces of information available ensures that the proper responsible parties can be quickly reached in the event of an operational issue.
